Patrick Wolf - Time Of My Life



Patrick Wolf (born Patrick Denis Apps) is an English singer-songwriter from South London.

He started his musical education with violin lessons and church choirs and made his first theremin at age eleven. At fourteen, he joined and performed with pop art collective Minty. Two years later, he dropped his music A-Levels, which he was studying at Davies Laing and Dick Sixth Form College in Notting Hill Gate, and left home.

During this period (as well as working in a clothing store in Covent Garden) Wolf earned money from busking in a string quartet and formed a group called Maison Crimineaux, a noisy trio built on destructive ethics around white noise and pop music. He also continued to write and record his own material. A gig of Maison Crimineaux was attended by electronic maestro Kristian Robinson (aka Capitol K), who would then go on to release Wolf's debut album Lycanthropy.

Over four acclaimed albums he's embraced everything from folk and baroque pop to Berlin-influenced techno. Now he's back with Time of My Life, the first single from his forthcoming album The Conqueror, due in May next year.
